The name “Bélingard” is said to have come from the Celtic language and oral tradition, “beleen garten”, meaning the garden of the beleen or belin god”, the god of sun and war.

When Laurent de Bosredon returned to the estate in 1980, after having decided to interrupt his career in Paris, he took over from his father, Pierre de Bosredon, and began to work this clayey -chalky land to give it its prestige of yesteryear.
Château Bélingard was already well ranked in the 1903 édition of Féret’s "Bergerac et ses vins", with 100 barrels of red wine and 50 of white wine. In the 1994 edition, it is still the leading wine producer of the famous Monbazillac and Bergerac appellations. Read less
